GOAL
Is this 5-storeyed landed property my house?
NO! Of course not!
It is really costly to own a property like this in Singapore and will cost us a few S$ millions.
However, this is a typical DREAM HOUSE of my eldest son.
In recent weeks, Bren has been having the aspiration of becoming a lawyer (haha….no longer a pilot) and wanting to earn big bucks to support his father and me.
[Hee...I wonder where he got the information that a successful lawyer can earn as much as S$30,000 a month (that is way above the average salary range of most Singaporeans.) To him, being a lawyer means being able to outtalk others. Haha...Seriously, this is one of the things he does best at home.]
Then he talked about owning a few-storeyed property so that WE could all live under one roof. WE meaning myself, his Papa, his brother and their families. ”Each” will occupy a floor.
Hmm….Not bad. I don’t want to do the housework in this BIG house but I like the idea:) Not of living in a BIG landed property but of the concept of EXTENDED FAMILY.
Well, it is an ambitious goal for my son. But I don’t wish to be a wet blanket.
It is good to have a GOAL and I explained to him that he needs to work hard and have a plan to achieve this GOAL.
Afterall,
”A goal without a plan is just a wish.”

Hee….I look forward to the day *wink*.
Wow.. at such a young age too! Good, great.. do aim high.. then the determination is there.. :)
ya..u can achieve it when u hv the goal.
Wow, great aspiration he has! It’s good to have a goal in life. :)
It’s always good to have a goal in mind along the way.
That’s a very adult goal he has. So nice to see focus in someone so young.
S$30,000 a month is only the average salary of a lawyer, a really good lawyer earns more than S$100,000 a month.One of my lawyers earn this much. :)
Hi Claire,
Sigh…sometimes aim higher, also means falling from greater height. I am less ambitious, I don’t mind just a two-storeyed bungalow, occupying a whole piece of land, by the beach…haha…look who is aiming higher:)
Hi Wenn,
The goal can never be reached unless we set step to reach out for it.
Hi Ing,
Today’s children are easily influenced by their friends. Sometimes, their goals change after comparing with friends. Last time, he was wanting to be a pilot as we used to fly quite often to meet his Papa. Now, it is a lawyer. One thing, I am glad though is that his goal seems to be for one objective - family.
Hi Life Ramblings,
Haha…we know that we change goal post too, taking advantage of situations.
Hi Jellybelly,
Hehe…once he gets an idea to become “someone”, he will find out as much as he could about it. I have been grilled on what a lawyer does, which University he needs to go to major in law etc…he seems serious, at least for now..haha
Hi ECL,
Hmm…Bren must be even more inspired now if he reads about this because then he can buy 3 of such houses instead, side by side and still live as an extended family….haha
